soelim

NAME

soelim - interpret .so requests in groff input

SYNOPSIS

soelim [ -Cv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]
It is possible to have whitespace between the -I command line option
and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION

soelim reads files and replaces lines of the form
.sofile
by the contents of file. It is useful if files included with so need
to be preprocessed. Normally, soelim should be invoked with the -s
option of groff.
Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading dot and the
two characters ‘s’ and ‘o’. Otherwise, only groff interprets the .so
request (and soelim ignores it).

OPTIONS

-C Recognize .so even when followed by a character other than space
or newline.
-Idir This option may be used to specify a directory to search for
files (both those on the command line and those named in .so
lines). The current directory is always searched first. This
option may be specified more than once, the directories will be
searched in the order specified. No directory search is per-
formed for files specified using an absolute path.
-v Print the version number.
